Hello everyone! Where do I begin? In the last 10 days I have been to Cairo, Egypt, and seen the pyramids and met with believers from the largest church in the Middle East, been to Petra, Jordan, met with believers in Zarqa and Amman, been to Nazareth, Bethlehem and Jerusalem. Everywhere you go in this part of the world, you see the footprints of our Lord. He is everywhere, His People are everywhere. Forget what you read in the paper: God is at work here and many are coming to know Him.
I met with one Egyptian woman who felt the leading of God to start a ministry to women in Cairo in her home ... because so many women there have been abused. She and her husband now minister to 50 + families ... and their ministry is growing.
What I will not forget is the fire in the eyes and intensity of the speech of the Arab Christians when they talk about reaching their world for Christ. They risk everything for Christ and they count it a privilege. They are an inspriation to me!

Spring Travels
Spring is upon us and with it comes two very exciting trips. I am going with a small team of people to the Middle East next week - we will be exploring new ministry opportunities in several countries, building new friendships and nurturing friendships we already have. I plan to take my book with me and know it will be an encouragement to the women there who so desperately need encouraging.
Then in May I will be going to Budapest, Hungary for the European Leadership Conference, with a weekend stop in Romania to plan our fall trip there. I am also looking forward to the one day Women's Leadership Summit that is part of the conference. Plan to do lots of networking, book in hand. It is a thrill to hear the positive comments from women who are reading "Who Do You Think You Are?"
One woman writes: "I have already read 7 chapters and can't wait to read the rest of the book-thank you does not seem adequate!"
It is a privilege to serve the Lord through Greater Reach Ministries. To God be the glory! Happy Easter! Kristin

Book Review
Book review by Rosanne Burck
Book: Who Do You Think You Are?
Author: Dr. Kristin Beasley with Jodi Carlson
Just be yourself! Be true to who you are! Be the real you!
Voices come at us from every angle with this message. But, as a female and a Christian, who am I, really? And who has had input into my definition of who I am? Women of all ages around the world are confused about this. We know this as we see young women in the U.S. attempting to emulate the sex-drenched images of our culture while attempting to “act like men” in the workplace. Women in the Middle East and other parts of the world are silenced and shrouded in attempts to deny their very existence as females. Women everywhere are in desperate need of God’s truth.
Dr. Kristin Beasley, in her newly released book, “Who Do You Think You Are?”, presents liberating answers about who God created each woman to be. As Dr. Norman Wakefield, Professor Emeritus of Phoenix Seminary states on the book’s back cover, “This book is grounded in biblical truth and wisdom that touches the heart.”
I found this book of 10 chapters to be very enjoyable, but thought-provoking, reading. In Part One, Dr. Beasley begins with an assessment of the many distorted views of womanhood in society, culture and religions to show us how many women are living with a wrong or incomplete view of their value. Part Two presents truth about women’s significance in a way I have never seen presented before – how each Person of the Triune God “answers one of your three core needs as a woman.” Part Three is application – what to do with the truth discovered in Part Two so women can take hold of their God-given uniqueness and serve Him.
The back of the book contains reflection questions that can be used for personal study or with small groups. Pick up this book today for yourself, your ministry team, your daughters and the other women in your life. You will not be disappointed!
You can buy it directly from Greater Reach Ministries to support their vision to reach out across the world to lift up women and touch them with a message of hope that inspires and equips them to be all that God made them to be.

Multiplying Our Message
Class is back in session today as Dr. Kristin Beasley and Caye Siller co-teach the class, Who Do You Think You Are? for 18 more women over the next 8 weeks. Not only does this equate to Greater Reach communicating the truth of a woman's identity to more people, but GRM hopes to multiply through these women.
As a result of the last two classes taught, God has begun to open doors into other churches to teach women and has allowed us to teach the material to a small group. Other women who have taken the class feel more empowered to serve in their area of gifting, and others are thinking up ways to reach more women with the message of their truest identity.
We look forward with great anticipation that which the Lord will choose to do with this group of women as they discover the truth about who they really are. Not to mention, we at Greater Reach enjoy the opportunity to build more relationships with women of all ages and stages of life through the class.
Please pray for Kristin and Caye as they teach and for this new group of women as they learn and grow in the Truth.
